Joseph Dzurenda

Joseph Dzurenda serves as a key procurement professional within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, supporting critical acquisitions that advance NOAA’s mission in environmental monitoring, oceanographic research, and climate resilience. He manages a diverse portfolio of technical contracts focused on data systems, scientific instrumentation, and computational infrastructure, ensuring the agency’s operational capabilities remain at the forefront of earth system science. His work directly enables the deployment of sensors, modeling platforms, and data processing systems essential for weather forecasting, marine ecosystem analysis, and coastal hazard mitigation. Dzurenda maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Wisconsin Educational Communications Board, Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP, JNB Services LLC, Pure Enviro-Management, LLC, and The Regents of the University of Colorado. These relationships reflect a preference for technical service providers with expertise in environmental data systems, scientific software development, and precision instrument manufacturing. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term collaboration with vendors who demonstrate deep domain knowledge in oceanic and atmospheric sciences, often engaging firms with proven experience in federal scientific missions. His procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing performance, innovation, and scientific rigor in vendor selection. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, qualified small firms are regularly awarded based on technical merit and past performance. Dzurenda’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), and 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers). He routinely acquires custom software solutions, environmental sensor systems, real-time data processing platforms, and cloud-based infrastructure to support NOAA’s scientific data lifecycle—from field collection to predictive modeling and public dissemination.
